This character was coined in Korea (it is a 國字 or gukja) to represent the Korean word for rice paddy (논). There was no Chinese character to indicate a rice paddy, so Koreans originally used 水田, the chinese word for it. As writing was vertical, it was a natural step to combine the two characters vertically. It is assumed that the Sino-Korean pronunciation 답 was taken from the similar-looking character 沓.
